Regular super-sacks typically do not exceed a 2 metric tons payload and, for large quantities of product to be shipped at a high rate, super-sacks require intensive handling and high packaging cost due to its small format.
BULK-FLOW developed a mega-sack with a capacity ranging from 4-8 metric tons that speeds up the process of bagging high quantities in short times because its large format. It also has the unique benefit of serving as a long-term storage means anywhere, anytime with its fabric impervious to UV rays and its water-resistant inner liner.
BULK-FLOW’s mega-sacks are a perfect match for high volume products such as frack sands, soda ash, cement, and many other minerals.
BULK-FLOW’s mega-sacks can be customized to fit specific means of transportation such as:
- Gondola railcars: it can fit 28 mega-sacks of 4 metric tons each, approximately
- Flat beds: it can fit 4 mega-sacks of 6 metric tons each, approximately
Therefore, these mega-sacks enable alternative logistics to traditional rail-hopper cars that provide little flexibility or 1 metric ton super-sacks that provide excessive handling.
BULK-FLOW’s mega-sacks provide a lower packaging cost per metric ton compared to super-sacks.
